SMOKIN' ARGUMENT

When will the politicians, police officers and, above all, the Canadian
public realize that marijuana is tied to organized crime simply because of
its illegality?

In your editorial, you call the people running the marijuana industry
cutthroat criminals.

The only reason they are "criminals" is, again, because of marijuana's
illegality.

The real cutthroat criminals are the politicians, public officials and
members of the Canadian public who continue their pot-propagandist hysteria.

Wake up and smell the reefer.
